Where is the logic in using the lack of a championship during his first run as coach against him? LeBron couldn’t win a championship in Cleveland with LeBron. In fact, he was so sure he couldn’t do it here, he left his hometown. For Miami. And teamed with Dwyane Wade. And Chris Bosh. And the three of them still didn’t win one until their second season together.

Brown is a good hire for the Cavs. And here’s a news flash: Phil Jackson, Red Auerbach and James Naismith coaching together couldn’t coach this Cavs team to a championship.

Phil Jackson?

Please. Great coaches don’t take bad jobs. It ruins their legacies.

Honestly, Brown and Cleveland are a good fit. They’re both mediocre entities — minus LeBron, maybe worse — trying to prove otherwise. Actually, Brown may be a better coach than the Cavs are a team right now. He married down this time.

More than anyone else, I’m starting to wonder how Dan Gilbert is different from any other Cleveland owner. Gilbert seems to talk a better game than his team plays.

RENO’S CONTRACT

Caught up Wednesday with Superintendent Mike McVey of Steubenville City Schools, whose district has been in the middle of a firestorm for much of the school year after two of its football players were found guilty of raping a 16-year-old girl.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is to convene a grand jury April 30 to see if any other laws were broken, perhaps by adults such as head coach Reno Saccoccia. DeWine wants to know who knew what, and when they knew it. Teachers and coaches are bound by law to report rape.

Naturally, many national media outlets were outraged earlier this week when Saccoccia was awarded a two-year contract renewal for his administrative position in the school. His coaching job is a supplemental position that usually isn’t dealt with until May.

Saccoccia being approved for a two-year contract should not be seen as a vote of confidence, McVey said.

“It’s standard protocol,” McVey said. “In March and April, during that time, we do administrative and teaching contracts for (the next school year). Coaches will be in May. ... It’s standard procedure for how you run a school district. People will make what they want out of it. That’s how we run a district. It’s not different than any other school.”

Saccoccia is in the middle of the maximum supplemental coaching contract available to Ohio high school coaches. He is in the third year of a five-year contract, McVey said.

If Saccoccia is found to have done something wrong, McVey said there is a time and place for that.

“But I’m not going to speculate on that right now,” McVey said. “If that occurs, we will deal with it at that time.”

Late May is a terrible time to have to replace a football coach.

McVey doesn’t care.

“If a teacher gets caught doing something that’s serious enough in violation of the Ohio Revised Code, we’ll fire that teacher and find another one in the middle of a school year,” McVey said. “If something needs dealt with, we will.”

It remains to be seen if there is much, if anything, the Ohio High School Athletic Association can do about Steubenville’s program.

“The OHSAA bylaws, which are adopted by the member schools, don’t allow the commissioner’s office, or the board of directors any jurisdiction over issues like these,” the OHSAA said in a statement prior to the verdict. “OHSAA bylaw 4-5-1 reads: ‘In matters pertaining to personal conduct in which athletic contests and their related activities are not involved, the school itself is to be the sole judge as to whether the student may participate in athletics.’

“We are hopeful that the Steubenville City Schools will uphold the expectations of their fellow OHSAA-member schools in the handling of this case.”

McVey didn’t have much choice with Saccoccia. He has no legal reason — as of yet — to not renew his administrative contract.

Personally, I don’t think McVey, Saccoccia and the athletic administration should be back next school year. The way this terrible situation was handled only made outsiders believe Steubenville was run by Boss Hogg in the middle of Hazzard County.
